FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[CC Docket No. 90–571; DA 98–1239]

Telecommunications Relay Services

(TRS) Certification

July 7, 1998.

Notice is hereby given that the

application for certification of the state

Telecommunication Relay Services

(TRS) program of the state listed below

has been granted, subject to the

condition described below, pursuant to

Title IV of the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990, 47 USC

225(f)(2), and section 64.605(b) of the

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.605(b).

On the basis of the state application, the

Commission has determined that:

(1) The TRS program of the listed

state meets or exceeds all operational,

technical, and functional minimum

standards contained in section 64.604 of

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.604;

(2) The TRS program of the listed

state makes available adequate

procedures and remedies for enforcing

the requirements of the state program;

and,

(3) The TRS program of the listed

state in no way conflicts with federal

law.

The Commission also has determined

that, where applicable, the intrastate

funding mechanisms of the listed state

are labeled in a manner that promotes

national understanding of TRS and does

not offend the public, consistent with

section 64.605(d) of the Commission’s

rules, 47 CFR 64.605(d).

On May 14, 1998, the Commission

adopted a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking that proposes ways to

enhance the quality of existing

telecommunications relay services

(TRS) and expand those services for

better use by individuals with speech

disabilities. See Telecommunications

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech

Services for Individuals with Hearing

and Speech Disabilities, CC Docket No.

98–67, FCC 98–90 (rel. May 20, 1998).

Because the Commission may adopt

changes to the rules governing relay

programs, including state relay

programs, the certification granted

herein is conditioned on a

demonstration of compliance with any

new rules ultimately adopted by the

Commission. The Commission will

provide guidance to the states on

demonstrating compliance with such

rule changes.

This certification, as conditioned

herein, shall remain in effect for a five

year period, beginning July 26, 1998,

and ending July 25, 2003, pursuant to 47

CFR 64.605(c). One year prior to the

expiration of this certification, July 25,

2002, the state may apply for renewal of

its TRS program certification by filing

documentation in accordance with the

Commission’s rules, pursuant to 47 CFR

64.605(a) and (b).

Copies of certification letters are

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau,

Network Services Division, Room 235,

2000 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.,

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to

3:00 PM (closed 12:30 to 1:30 PM) and

the FCC Reference Center, Room 239,

1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.,
